A researcher from Denmark reviewed a number of studies to summarize the efficacy of ciprofloxacin in respiratory infections. In these studies, Cipro was dosed from seven to 16 days, and in up to 103 patients with a variety of lung infections. Additionally, based on the findings from a number of experiments with animals infected with Mycoplasma pneumoniae, this researcher suggested that ciprofloxacin has a role in the treatment of human mycoplasma pneumonia.

Researchers in Japan compared the efficacy of ciprofloxacin tablets with other quinolone-type antibiotics, temafloxacin and ofloxacin, in mycoplasma pneumoniae-infected hamsters. In this study, both temafloxacin and ofloxacin, but not Cipro were active when the oral formulations given once daily for five days were started 24 hours after infection. Additionally, continuous administration of it or ofloxacin for 15 days did not significantly reduce the amount of Mycoplasma pneumoniae in the lungs. Use of this drug must be considered in conjunction with a physician.
